Chapter 183 Breaks viewership records?! It's broken! It's absolutely a breakout hit! (Seeking monthly votes)

Light and Shadow Special Effects Company is one of the largest special effects production teams in China.

They received Song Hao's invitation more than half a month ago.

Involved in the production of science fiction films with a large-scale disaster theme.

When the production team learned that it was Song Hao's film, they were all very excited.

They already knew that Song Hao's movies were very good.

No matter the subject matter, it can be a box office hit.

Now that special effects artists have been assigned the task of creating movie special effects, they are naturally eager to participate.

The production team even implemented a three-shift system for this purpose.

The goal is to complete the corresponding amount of special effects production within 24 hours a day.

According to the script provided by Song Hao.

After the earthquake disaster, a tsunami struck.

By this time, the government already had policies in place to address the issue.

All-out rescue and evacuation efforts.

He took people aboard Noah's Ark.

The original "2012" only had a few arks, but Song Hao made changes this time.

Given China's infrastructure capabilities, it's impossible that there are only a few ships.

Each province and city built a corresponding ark of the same size, which was then hidden underground.

The largest Noah's Ark is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The little ark will then travel to Noah's Ark to reunite with it.

This aligns even more with the unwavering loyalty of the Chinese people.

The task of the lighting and special effects team was to create the scene of Noah's Ark breaking through the ice.

This task is very difficult.

Because they did not have a concrete concept of Noah's Ark.

He could only rely on his imagination to design the model step by step and send it to Song Hao for review.

Special effects can only be built using this model if Song Hao agrees.

The whole process was extremely difficult.

However, in order to have their work appear on screen, the special effects team still faced the challenge head-on.

During this time.

The influence of "Raging Wind" continues.

The entire internet is flooded with posts about the TV series "Raging Waves".

Some netizens even joked that "Raging Waves" unified the war for the remote control at home.

According to data from Yunhe, the effective market share of the main episodes of this TV series has reached an astonishing 63.6%.

In other words, more than half of the viewers of TV dramas and movies are following them.

This data is simply terrifying.

During this time.

The famous meme from "The Storm" helped the movie quickly gain wider popularity.

One of the jokes is about Li Youtian going down the mountain.

Some people have even given this storyline a title: "Fast and Furious: Arita Goes Down the Mountain".

In the story, Li Youtian, the once arrogant local bully of Mangcun, drove his Wuling Hongguang to the end of his life.

Actually, during the filming process, when Teacher Han, who played Li Youtian, was filming this scene, he didn't act too ferociously.

Song Hao told him that he needed to have enough facial expressions so that the close-up shots would be more vivid.

This led to the rapid spread of Li Youtian's ferocious facial expression as a meme after the episode aired.

Some people even paired it with the theme song of Fast & Furious, "See You Again," and it felt perfectly natural.

Not only that, there are other famous meme scenes.

[Gao Qiqiang's motivational code: Lao Mo, I want to eat fish.]

[Gao Qiqiang reads Sun Tzu's Art of War.]

[Xu Jiang's complaint: What kind of class is this, using the same TV as me?]

[Xu Jiang: We ate at the table with the children.]

Even online bookstores have seen a surge in sales.

Many shops are displaying the following slogan in their store titles: "[Selling the same copy of 'The Art of War' by Gao Qiqiang.]"

While watching the show, some viewers became curious about the mastermind behind it all.

They all knew that Zhao Lidong was the villain.

The only one with doubts was Meng Dehai.

Song Hao boldly presented the plot this time.

Meng Dehai colluded with Yang Jian to seize the enormous profits of Jinghai Power.

In particular, the retired Grand Secretary complained: "Everyone is saying that half of the people behind Jinghai Electric Power are surnamed Meng and the other half are surnamed Yang."

The original TV series referred to someone who was half surnamed Gao and half surnamed Yang.

But in reality, Meng Dehai was Yang Jian's backer.

So when the audience saw this, they finally understood.

It turns out that Meng Dehai has already boarded Gao Qiqiang's pirate ship.

This makes the whole drama even clearer.

It is precisely because of this explicit content that audiences love it even more.

They all said that this drama is no less than "In the Name of the People"!
During the broadcast period, the five video platforms received dozens of sponsorship applications from advertisers.

It's safe to say that this TV series is even better than the original "In the Name of the People"!

During the run of "The Storm," some episodes even achieved a viewership rating of 7.8%.

This data is sufficient to prove its quality.

Those viewers who had only watched "In the Name of the People" and were initially skeptical of "The Storm" were proven wrong.

They never expected that Song Hao could produce two such high-quality dramas on the same subject matter.

Meanwhile, the Golden Horse Awards are about to begin.

The Film Association issued a notice implying that artists should not participate.

Therefore, very few celebrities attended this year's Golden Horse Awards.

This has really worried the organizers of the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan.

Back then, in order to support local directors from Taiwan, the Best Film award was not given to Song Hao's "Dying to Survive" or "Operation Mekong".

This led to a series of chain reactions.

The Golden Horse Awards organizers never expected that Song Hao, as a young director, would have such an impact on others by not participating in the Golden Horse Awards.

There must be official support behind this.

The organizers of the Golden Horse Awards always feel regretful whenever they think about this.

The fact that the award-winning local director later made some idiotic remarks further worsened the relationship between the Golden Horse Awards and the artists.

So this time...

The organizers of the Golden Horse Awards once again personally sent someone to invite Song Hao to participate.

However, Song Hao refused outright this time.

He doesn't care about the Golden Horse Awards.

He simply felt that if an award was unfair, then there was no need to participate.

You can't hit someone who's smiling at you; Song Hao had already been hit once before.

If you go again this time, you'll be a coward.

The organizers of the Golden Horse Awards also guessed that Song Hao would not participate.

But this time, they secretly added Song Hao's "Operation Red Sea" to the nomination list in order to increase the visibility of this year's Golden Horse Awards.

When the Golden Horse Awards announced its nominees, netizens also noticed Song Hao's film, "Operation Red Sea".

They were quite surprised, thinking Song Hao was going to accept an award.

"You didn't win an award last year, should you go again this year?"

"Don't go. Didn't we say that our artists aren't going to the Golden Horse Awards?"

"Yeah, does that mean Director Song is going to go back on his word?"

"As for prizes, the more the better. Maybe they've already discussed it privately?"

Song Hao, who was filming at the time, was unaware of this matter.

It was only after Chairman Chen Daoming specifically called him that he learned the whole story.

Song Hao said, "President Chen, I won't go." "Okay, I understand. They must have submitted your film for nomination without permission. They're really going too far. I'll go warn them right now." President Chen was clearly very angry.

Sure enough, the Golden Horse Awards nominations were updated in less than a day.

There's no "Operation Red Sea" this time either.

This back-and-forth has left netizens puzzled.

"Does this mean Director Song will stop participating after we talked to him?"

"Seriously? I'm impressed."

"Director Song ultimately couldn't withstand the pressure of public opinion!"

Just then, Song Hao's studio issued a clarification statement.

The main point is that he never applied for a nomination for the Golden Horse Awards, but the organizers added his film without his consent, and he will send a lawyer's letter to compensate for the losses.

As soon as the news came out.

Netizens were all surprised.

"Damn, the Golden Horse Awards are shameless."

"Is this how you try to ride the wave of popularity?!"

"I'm speechless. If Director Song hadn't issued this clarification, we would still be in the dark."

"Shameless!!"

This move by the Golden Horse Awards organizers has further damaged their public image.

It's likely that mainland Chinese celebrities won't be participating online in the next few years.

In other words, the influence of the Golden Horse Awards will only continue to decline.

The days passed.

Song Hao is still actively filming "2012".

Because the original 2012 had too many American elements, it was really difficult to localize it.

It is necessary not only to combine the local conditions of China, but also to match the ideals of the Chinese people.

During filming, he repeatedly discussed with the lead actors to ensure the production was exquisite and of high quality.

Meanwhile, in order to simulate a real earthquake scene, Song Hao also had the props team prepare a huge set.

The set features several cars, pedestrians, and houses.

There is a huge hydraulic press under the set camera.

Hydraulic presses can simulate earthquakes, shaking from different directions.

With the shaking of the hydraulic press, everything on the set, from people to houses, will sway.

The most arduous task was undertaken by the photography team, who had to capture every possible shot and film the entire process from various angles.

Because all the props in the scene can only be used once, and each use costs millions of RMB.

Even if Song Hao is rich, he shouldn't waste money like this.

Moreover, during this period, he scrapped over a hundred used cars.

Just to capture the scene of cars colliding and collapsing.

This generous gesture was captured on camera by staff and subsequently posted online by the official account.

When netizens saw cars being completely wrecked and falling over, they felt very distressed.

"Oh my god, can't I have one?!"

"Don't drop it, it's all money!"

"Now I understand that Director Song really put his heart into making this disaster movie!"

"Just because these 100-plus cars were scrapped, I think I should go and support Director Song."

"We're not going to the Golden Horse Awards, we're just going to obediently crash our cars."

"Hahahaha, crash the car."

"They're really good at creating drama, crashing cars."

Perhaps it was the sheer brilliance of the series "Raging Storm" that made many viewers even look forward to disaster films during the Lunar New Year season.

Although watching disaster movies during the Lunar New Year holiday does evoke a feeling that is hard to describe.

But if it looks good, who cares?
Soon, it was December.

The plot of "Raging" is nearing its end.

Many of the main characters have also left the show.

It's a pity that Li Xiang, who had always wanted to collect evidence of Zhao Lidong's crimes, is now being treated this way.

Tan Siyan was strangled to death by Gao Qiqiang's men using a cement truck.

An Xin's apprentice, Lu Han, was killed by Guo Shanfeng, and so on.

They are all positive characters whose fates are regrettable.

Of course, many villains also met their end.

In the end, Gao Qiqiang was also over fifty years old.

He knew he couldn't escape arrest this time, so he kept trying to get An Xin to accept his sister Gao Qilan.

Moreover, Gao Qilan was not involved in the group's business at all.

This was all to preserve the last remaining member of the Gao family.

He only believed that An Xin could protect Gao Qilan.

This drama, while focusing on anti-corruption, also features a significant amount of family affection.

You could say it's full of life and humanity.

In terms of quality, the entire series is absolutely top-notch.

With Gao Qiqiang arrested and Tang Xiaohu dead, the series came to an end.

In the end, the bad guys all received their due punishment.

Of course, in this process, An Xin, as a good person, repeatedly fought against darkness, but never bowed to fate.

"Raging Storm" has officially ended.

It also left a lasting impression on many viewers.

Even for a long time after the series ended, references to "Raging Storm" were still circulating online.

Some even joked that if An Xin had joined forces with Gao Qiqiang earlier, then half of Jinghai would belong to the An family and the other half to the Gao family.

Of course, these are all digressions.

The real story couldn't have been written like that.

Otherwise, Song Hao's script wouldn't have passed the review.

CCTV subsequently released a report card as well.

The series achieved an average viewership rating of 4.54% and an average viewership share of 34.99%. The highest single-episode viewership rating was 8.20% and the highest single-episode viewership share was 71.69%, ranking first among evening drama programs.

Dragon TV also posted that "Raging Wave" broke the ratings record of nearly nine years!

iQiyi also reported good news, with its popularity index exceeding 21800, breaking its previous record!
KuYun Live achieved a record high viewership of 4.99% and a Weibo rating of 9.5, topping both the ratings and critical acclaim!

It can be said that the drama "The Storm" has reached the level of "In the Name of the People" in terms of both quality and performance.

Even in terms of publicity, they are slightly better.

After all, the various viral memes made this show quite popular.

Song Hao is also known as a god in film and television dramas by netizens.

"Seriously, I really admire him. He understands so well what we viewers want to see."

"Yes, I like every film and television work he has ever made."

"I'm starting to look forward to his Lunar New Year film."

"I'm still a little afraid to watch his disaster movies. I'm afraid that after watching one of his disaster movies, I won't want to celebrate the New Year anymore."

"Hahaha, no way, I believe in Director Song's abilities."

As time goes by.

As the hype surrounding "Raging Storm" fades, discussions about Song Hao have also decreased significantly.

Since starting to film "2012", Song Hao has seemingly disappeared from the public eye, immersing himself in polishing his work.

During this time, he also discussed future science fiction themes with Wu Jing.

When Wu Jing learned that Song Hao wanted to make a film about space exploration in the future, he was very interested.

"Anyway, it's settled then. If we ever make a sci-fi movie and we don't have enough funding, I can sponsor it," Wu Jing joked.

Song Hao laughed: "Should we arrange a lead role for you?"

"Of course, I'm the only choice," Wu Jing said smugly.

And so, with just one month left until the Lunar New Year, filming for "2012" finally wrapped up!
